Roar4Widener, the university’s day of giving not only broke the record for the number of donors and gifts (high five!)—it proved, yet again, that the Pride is always ready to rally when it matters most.

During Roar4Widener on April 10 (from midnight to 11:59 p.m.), alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and students were encouraged to support any area of the university that’s meaningful to them—from athletics, academics, and financial aid to experiential learning, student clubs, and many others.

Throughout the day, challenges to unlock funds—made possible by leadership donors—inspired community members to take action, maximizing the impact of their investment.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all who contributed to Roar4Widener. Your gift helps to ensure our students continue to receive the resources, mentorship, and life-changing experiences that are the hallmarks of a Widener education.
